Divide any term, except the first, by the term before it.
The common ratio is the ratio of the nth term (n > 1) to the (n-1)th term. For the progression to be geometric, this ratio must be a non-zero constant.
An example of a geometric progression is the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54. In this sequence, each term is multiplied by a common ratio of 3 to obtain the next term: (2 \times 3 = 6), (6 \times 3 = 18), and (18 \times 3 = 54). Thus, the ratio of each number to its preceding one remains constant.
It is a geometric progression with common ratio 0.5
15. It's a Geometric Progression with a Common Ratio of 1/5 (or 0.2).
In an arithmetic progression the difference between each term (except the first) and the one before is a constant. In a geometric progression, their ratio is a constant. That is, Arithmetic progression U(n) - U(n-1) = d, where d, the common difference, is a constant and n = 2, 3, 4, ... Equivalently, U(n) = U(n-1) + d = U(1) + (n-1)*d Geometric progression U(n) / U(n-1) = r, where r, the common ratio is a non-zero constant and n = 2, 3, 4, ... Equivalently, U(n) = U(n-1)*r = U(1)*r^(n-1).
The common ratio is the ratio of the nth term (n > 1) to the (n-1)th term. For the progression to be geometric, this ratio must be a non-zero constant.
if a number is multiplied by 1, then it does not change, it is Still the same number. A ratio of 1 is impossible . The ratio between two quantities must always be greater than 1 otherwise there is no difference between them.

The geometric series is, itself, a sum of a geometric progression. The sum of an infinite geometric sequence exists if the common ratio has an absolute value which is less than 1, and not if it is 1 or greater.
